Do you remember Archie and Alfie who featured in a news article on this website a couple of weeks ago? Well, they are now called Daisy and Tiger-Lily! No, they haven't had gender reassignment surgery and they are not suffering psychological trauma, but when they came in for their first veterinary examination, they turned out to be girls rather than the boys the owners had been told they were by the breeder.....

This happens frequently with kittens, as with baby rabbits, as both can be difficult to sex when small. However, when neutered the sexes don't have any major personality differences, so the only difference is in cost and magnitude of the operation.

They were always too pretty to be boys!
